Referring to Mr.. D. Buchanan Merryman,
member of the well-known auction firm of William
| Seemuller & Co.. and son of the late Hon. John

universal favorite with all the fair In addi-
ton to his enviable social attributes he is clear
headed business man. strict and methodical in all
his transactions. In disposition he is reserved
and quiet, with q morbid dread of anything like
publicity" -------
Luther M. Reynolds, Esq, of Baltimore, was
admitted to the Hartford county bar last week.
He had not been in Belair for many years and
was such stranger that he knew no one and il
was with some difficulty that he could find a
lawyer who would move for his admission, but
which service Col. William Young finally rendered.
Mr.. Reynolds is prominent and wealthy citizen
and it is little odd that he should not be acquain-
ted in Belair, the seat of the county in which he
is financially interested.
